Target-Histidinol Phosphatase

*Target (protein/gene name): Histidinol Phosphatase (Histidine biosynthesis bifunctional protein hisB)
*NCBI Gene # or RefSeq#: GI:114793851
*Protein ID (NP or XP #) or Wolbachia#: NP_288527.2
*Organism (including strain): Escherichia coli O157:H7
Etiologic Risk Group (see link below): Risk Group 1
*Background/Disease Information (sort of like the Intro to your Mini Research Write up):
The bacterium Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a worldwide threat to public health and has been implicated in many outbreaks of haemorrhagic colitis. In addition to causing diarrhea, Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection can lead to hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), a severe disease characterized by hemolysis and renal failure. The severity of disease, the lack of effective treatment and the potential for large-scale outbreaks from contaminated food supplies have propelled intensive research on the pathogenesis and detection of E. coli O157:H7.
Essentiality of this protein: Histidinol Phosphatase is not essential.
Complex of proteins?: No
Druggable Target: There are no current druggable targets.
1,387 new genes encoded in strain-specific clusters of diverse sizes were found in O157:H7. These include candidate virulence factors, alternative metabolic capacities, several prophages and other new functions--all of which could be targets for surveillance. Genome Sequence Article

Enzyme Assay information (spectrophotometric, coupled assay ?, reagents): Spectrophotometric
High-resolution phylogenomic approaches allow the dynamics of pathogenome evolution to be followed at a high level of phylogenetic accuracy and resolution. SNP discovery and study of genome architecture and prophage content identified numerous biomarkers to assess the extent of genetic diversity within a set of clinical and environmental strains.
